The stange case of Mr. Rilke

[Terrance]

But first this message from our favorite critic. 


One cannot think of any contemporary novelist
              except Roth who would have chanced this story,
in
              which a seventy-one-year-old black professor
of classics
              who has been passing for white is hounded out
of his
              job for a remark taken to be racist and spends
his newly
              free time having oral sex with a woman almost
half his
              age.

This is art imitating life, I know this story, gotta read
this book.
